For the seventh time, the EUROPA moored in Antwerp for a culinary evening that is a highlight for both passengers and the gourmet elite. The guests strolled past the ‘live’ cooking stations and enjoyed tasting a wide variety of culinary creations. For example, Jan Hartwig created scallops with pickled carrots, ice plant, sesame and dashi chive butter. Kevin Fehling presented glazed eel with dashi, rice foam, wasabi and trout caviar. Meanwhile, Tanja Grandits conjured up some zander lemon ceviche, turmeric and fennel. This year’s event was attended by:
